White paper on digital security published by European Standardisation bodies

In response to the European Union’s Cyber Security Strategy, the Cyber Security Coordination Group (CSCG) has published a White Paper with recommendations on digital security. The CSCG’s recommendations underline the importance of Cyber Security standardisation to complete the European internal market and to raise the level of Cyber Security in Europe in general.

The Cyber Security Coordination Group (CSCG) of CEN, CENELEC and ETSI is the only joint group of the three officially recognised European Standardisation Organisations with a mandate to coordinate Cyber Security standards within their organisations. The CSCG was created in late 2011 to provide strategic advice on standardisation in the field of IT security, Network and Information Security and Cyber Security.ENISA participates in CSCG.

The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) is a centre of expertise for cyber security in Europe.

ENISA is contributing to a high level of network and information security (NIS) within the European Union, by developing and promoting a culture of NIS in society to assist in the proper functioning of the internal market.
